The Criminal Police have arrested the former State Secretary for the Ministry of Health, N.Tumendemberel, the Director of Diagnostics and Treatment Technology, D.Gonchigsuren and the head of the Policy Implementation and Coordination for Health Technology Assessment, P.Otgonjargal, as suspects in a tender fraud case last Friday.

N.Tumendemberel worked  as the Director for the Division of Finance and Investment during the term of the former Minister of Health, S.Lambaa, before being appointed as State Secretary for the Ministry of Health by the former Minister of Health, N.Khurelbaatar after the coalition government`s drop.

N.Tumendemberel held the position until a cabinet reshuffle in 2012.

It has taken some time for the Criminal Police to start an investigation into the case, but it is likely to be a wide-spread investigation before transferring to the prosecutor.

Not a small part of the state budget is spent in the health sector. The numerous tenders for the medical center construction, current repair and facilities are expected to be fraudulent.
